where to get new 02 sensor?
the dealership found a faulty 02 sensor on my car and won't replace it under warrenty. it's the one after the cat...they're charging me $175 (originally $315!) to replace it. is this fair???? can i buy one for cheaper????
it's not being replaced under warrenty because the dumbass previous owner wrapped it in ducttape and bent it too try to make it read less! I talked them down to $175...is that a good deal. after some searching, it seems like most dealers charge at least $315 for this. my car was idling like crap too...could this be the culprit to that problem?

I don't know if that's a good deal for the 02 sensor near the cat, but I'm being charged $290 for the 02 sensor in the front.
It is causing my car to idle and run like crap... with the addition of mods I have plus a ECU flash my car is running extremely rich because of the 02 sensor.. I have gas spraying out my exhaust.
good luck
